Modification Monday: Mittens
Original Pattern: #18 Mittens
Knitter Extraordinaire: Caarin (Rav ID, adorable doggie blog)
Mods: Resized for a toddler's little hands, and modified the cuff to garter stitch. Project page with details can be found here.
What Makes This Awesome: Oh my goodness, the colours. I love how Caarin matched the mittens with the contrasting mitt and cuff for each one, and the little splash of red is perfect. She didn't use the standard ribbing for the cuff that we all know and love, and instead used garter stitch, which seems so simple, but wow- big impact. And I bet they are super warm- garter stitch is so nice and thick, just perfect for keeping little wrists warm. Love these!

I love swapping colours on mitten cuffs - it's so much fun! :)
Those colors are awesome. And garter stitch has rarely looked so good as it looks here.
Oh I love this pattern and your choice of colors!
They are so simple, but so darling.
Great find- I am in love with these little mitts.
Absolutely perfect! I am a great believer in color swapping for mittens and sometimes socks. Why not?
you're right! the colors in these are the best!
